(Verse 1)
There’s a whisper in the corners of the rooms we never name,
Footsteps trailing close behind us like a moth drawn to the flame.
Every silence has a heartbeat, every night a hidden face,
And though we walk a little faster, something keeps the pace.
(Pre-Chorus)
We pretend we don’t feel the pull,
We pretend we don’t hear the call—
But the dark knows every fear we hold
And waits behind the wall.
(Chorus)
Demons lurking in our shadows,
Feeding off the light we lose.
Crawling closer through the cracks we
Try to seal with quiet truths.
They grow stronger when we falter,
They grow loud when we refuse—
Demons lurking in our shadows,
Slowly consuming all of us.
(Verse 2)
They wear the faces of our failures, stitched with threads of doubt and shame,
They echo every old regret and every curse we try to tame.
But if you listen through the trembling, past the trembling you feel inside,
You’ll hear the truth beneath the thunder: they survive because we hide.
(Pre-Chorus)
We pretend we don’t feel the pull,
We pretend we don’t hear the call—
But the dark reflects the parts of us
We fear the most of all.
(Chorus)
Demons lurking in our shadows,
Feeding off the light we lose.
Crawling closer through the cracks we
Try to seal with quiet truths.
They grow stronger when we falter,
They grow loud when we refuse—
Demons lurking in our shadows,
Slowly consuming all of us.
(Bridge)
But if we burn a lantern bright,
And call them by their names,
The beasts that thrive in silent nights
Will shrink beneath the flame.
For shadows only linger long
Where we forget our worth—
And demons only conquer when
We leave our courage earth.
(Final Chorus)
Demons lurking in our shadows,
But tonight they lose their hold.
We are brighter than the darkness
We’ve mistaken for our souls.
When we face what once consumed us,
We reclaim what we had lost—
Demons lurking in our shadows,
Fade away into the dust.
